U de Recife

Here’s another 20+ years Linux user. I too feel I still not know what I’m doing. My computers have been up and running thanks to the blessings of the godly devs!

Same here. It simply comes from within. Everything now is so special because I’m aware how fleeting everything is.

Thanks for your comment. It resonated a lot with my experience.

You have a lot of good suggestions here already. My contribution will be like an upvote, sharing my impressions of the apps I’ve tried so far.

Both vger.app and thunder are very cool, easy to navigate, simple.

With Liftoff you have more control over the UI. It looks good and it’s very fluid.

All are very usable. All contribute to the lemmy experience, making it more fun to use and interact.

Good luck on your lemmy journey.

Beef. What a ride.

I’ve been messing with paru to gauge its functionality against yay.

So far I’m unimpressed. The cli display is somewhat tidier/neat. I like that. But when it comes to actually installing something, it’s less than stellar.

For instance, if I want to skip any confirmation, I can use the undocumented flag --noconfirm. But that only works if I’m passing the flag to install, -S. If, say, I’m searching for a package, simply typing paru <package>, then the interactive menu no longer works. It simply exits with the message ‘nothing to do’.

yay, on the other hand, works flawlessly with the --noconfirm flag.

I noticed that paru has some upgrading/updating features that are nice. I might use it once in a while to upgrade/update the system. But that’s pretty much it for now.

Thanks for reminding me of paru! I’ve checked and I have it installed already. But I confess that I’m so used to yay that I completely forgot about paru.

Do you have any paru tutorial you recommend?

pacman/yay

Also, Arch wiki.

All else is aesthetics.

Oh my zsh…
